~* 3.5 Stars for To Walk the Night by E.S. Moore *~

Kat Redding is the very thing she hunts: a
vampire, thirsting for blood, capable of killing any creature unlucky enough to
get in her path. The difference is, Kat kills her own kind in order to protect
human Purebloods. She's good at what she does. Good enough to earn the nickname
Lady Death--and the enmity of every bloodthirsty being around. But now a
vampire Count is intent on merging his House with a werewolf cult to create a
force of terrifying power.
Kat can't allow that to happen. Even if it means
taking on a den of weres and a vampire more ruthless than any she's encountered
before. She has the weapons, the skill, and a few allies. But that may not be
enough to eliminate the Count before her own dark nature rises to the
surface--and costs her whatever is left of her humanity. . .

This is not my typical read as its Urban Fantasy, but
it looked Paranormal as well, which is my normal flavor, so I decided to give
it a try.

Kat Redding is a vampire, who kills her own kind to
keep Pureblood humans safe. She’s so good at killing them that she’s earned the
nickname Lady Death. Of course the other vampires aren't too fond of her, but
she doesn’t really care what they think and she tries to hold onto her humanity
as best as any vampire can.

Along the journey she gets forced into a meeting with
the Luna Cult. The Luna Cult is a group that collects rogue werewolves and they
want her to help them on a case, even though Kat’s been known to kill
werewolves too. They have word of a Vampire Count who’s trying to merge his
House with a werewolf cult to become more powerful than they have the right to
be.

There are vampire houses that keep Pureblood humans
basically as a food source and Kat relishes destroying those houses and the
Count of the house in order to save them. For a vampire Kat has a lot of
compassion and love for the Purebloods. Even though she has the nickname Lady
Death, she still risks death every time she fights the vampires.

Kat of course is against the Vampire Count who wants to
merge his house to become more powerful and agrees to help the Luna Cult, even
though this Vampire Count is pretty powerful and might actually kill her for
real this time.

If you like take-no prisoners’ ballsy women, you’ll
love Kat. She reminds me of the ruthlessness of Anita Blake in the earlier
Anita Blake novels by Laurell K. Hamilton. There was no real romance or sexual
tension, which I normally like in my books. Even if it takes my characters 5
books to actually get together, in any shape or form, so I was a bit
disappointed in the lack of that in this book. But, if you like strictly action
packed ladies, I suggest you give Kat a call.
